Debuted this Saturday night, first in the US then a few hours later in Japan. Appearing in other parts of the world in the days to come. Anyone else watch it?

It's definitely a little cringy-ish if you ignore the clever writing, I was sold long ago on the fact that it's written by Dai Sato and directed by Shinichiro Watanabe. Watanabe, of course, directed Cowboy Bebop & Samurai Champloo. Sato wrote on Bebop, as well as Ghost in the Shell, Eureka 7 and Ergo Proxy. The studio is Bones, which just manages to make the most amazing looking ...everything - Eureka, Darker than Black, Wolf's Rain, Fullmetal Alchemist and on and on.

So either this is a monster home run or the biggest failure since Ghostbusters II.

And I don't know why, as often as not, the "video/mp3" button just gives hyperlink code either. *grumble*

@ razrangel - I watched it. I hate say it, but I was...a little disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high. I'm going to watch all of them because there is still some nice animation in there, but I dunno. It's missing something.

I think what was missing for me, that would have made me a little more critical if I didn't know the creative team, is that I didn't know what Dandy wants, besides the money from alien hunting and as much T&A as he could get.

Instead the stylization was the major character. Therefore, I really want to see where all this cleverness gets us. Something sharp and slick ("I know this because Tyler knows this") or something that goes splat and smells a little?

Tonight my brother sat me down and had me watch all of season 1 of RWBY, made by Rooster Teeth, the same production house that made Red vs Blue.RWBY

I enjoyed it quite a bit even if the animation falls well short of "outstanding." It was a fun story, making me think a little of Hunger Games and a lot of Soul Eater.

That was a strange little pair of videos, but more due to what's edited out than anything else. Bleeping shit and the god out of god damn, fuzzying out a middle finger. I'd have watched on to chapter 3 but the arbitrary edits killed that idea.

Shameless plugs for some incredibly talented people I know, but these are, in my opinion, outstanding examples of animation. This music video for Elliot the Bull by Sam Lewis at Oh Yeah Wow is beautiful stop motion wood animation. I had the pleasure of watching this develop week by week over several months. It's simply stunning.

Felix Colgrave is another freakishly talented animator and if you haven't come across his stuff before, find and watch it all. This is his latest. I could watch it for hours.
